Entwined Vol.2 Fall Rose Playing Cards

Entwined - Vol. 2: Fall is the second edition of our four-deck series that celebrates nature's ballet and the spirit's free-spirited dance (very poetic, right?).

Following the triumph of Alis Luminis and Entwined - Vol. 1: Summer, OLD GRAVITY, artist Ritu Bhattacharya has poured her heart into crafting this stunningly intricate deck that’s just as delightful as that last slice of cake you shouldn’t have eaten.

The Tuck Boxes

The Four Volumes
Fall is that season where everything gets its dramatic makeover. Each deck reflects nature’s transformations—Summer kicked things off, then came Fall with its vibrant changes, followed by Winter’s frosty elegance, and Spring will tie it all together with a blossoming bow.

The tuck boxes create a cohesive set, linked by a continuous design - The tree of life, with each season showcasing a slice of this magnificent masterpiece and each depicted by leaves shaped like the custom pips of our card deck (nature is so clever).

The Entwined Cards
Meet our regal symbol: the swan, known for its mystical ability to separate milk from water (no, it’s not just a pretty bird). With stunning foil detailing, each card radiates a touch of luxury that even your posh aunt would envy.

Features of the cards:

• Metallic orange-gold or Silver foiled card back adorned with a magnificent swan design.
• 54 artistically crafted face cards with a metallic ink rim.
• Printed by NPCC on 310 gsm Premium German Linen Card Stock (because quality matters).
• Every face card is digitally hand-drawn by the artist, including Aces and Jokers (no stock images here).
• Unique custom pips for each deck.
• Distinctive number card layout for each suit.

Ritu has meticulously hand-drawn each card, channeling ballet and intertwining it with nature’s essence. The face cards capture the enchanting hues of Autumn, where everything transforms into fiery reds and golds. Each dancer is paired with an animal or bird, showcasing the beautiful bond between spirit and nature.

Hearts Suit
Amidst the whispers of wind, leaves dance. The trees creak. I tread softly through the undergrowth, careful not to disturb the spirits. Outside, nature’s breath brushes against my face, igniting my heart with an eternal hush.

Spades Suit
This land has been warmed by the sun; my feet feel the gentle cracks as its story unfolds over millennia. I dig deep into the earth. The grass rejoices in anticipation. A sapling sprouts nearby, destined to shade my kids one day as they frolic across this beloved land.

Diamonds Suit
The table has stood empty for ages. I gaze out the window, waiting for his return. Yesterday’s dampness carried the scent of moss, filled with tales of longing. The door creaks open, and my heart leaps as a gentle hand brushes against mine. I collapse into an embrace, as rainbows warm the depths of my memories.

Clubs Suit
A sapling took root, offering shade to a child playing amidst flowers, sending seeds tumbling into the breeze. Friends gathered under its leafy expanse, labouring together in the earth, weaving purpose into existence. A forest flourished for millennia, taming rivers and giving breath to the wild. A flower bloomed, heralding harmony as the seed of all that was yet to come.

Custom Aces
First, there was Fall—a reminder of the majestic power that humbles us. Then came patience, the long nights stretching on as hope flickered, dawn hidden beyond the horizon. Next was grace, as buds restored joy, and warmth awakened stories of youth. Finally, the journey began, expanding beyond the horizon—just small steps to start.

Artistic Jokers

Nature Number Cards
Ritu envisioned each number card suit as leaves on a branch, with each denomination increasing the number of leaves gracefully falling across four stunning autumn landscapes.

She also designed each pip based on a leaf: the ginkgo leaf for hearts, the pipal leaf for spades, the oak leaf for diamonds, and the maple leaf for clubs.

Metallic Custom Seal
The seal is a lovely finishing touch to our deck, with two variations to match each deck's foil colour.
